Police in Florida say a man is approaching families posing as a Department of Children and Families employee, MyFoxOrlando reports.

The unidentified man contacted a family in Orlando claiming he was sent to take custody of their one-year-old granddaughter. The resident told the impostor that his granddaughter was not living in the home and then contacted police, MyFoxOrlando reports.
